Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services (PPCS) members have once again demonstrated their commitment to the community by supporting local food shelves and other vital programs through the Pierce Pepin Cares Foundation.
At their October meeting, the Pierce Pepin Cares board awarded $17,600 in grants to eight food pantries, each receiving $2,200.
The beneficiaries include Pierce County Food Pantry, Elmwood Food Pantry, Plum City Food Pantry, Prescott Area Food Shelf, River Falls Food Pantry, Spring Valley Community Food Pantry, Pepin County Food Pantry, and Pepin-Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Food Pantry.
In addition, the Pierce Pepin Cares board awarded a $250 grant to the Landmark Conservancy for protection of an eight-mile segment of the Chippewa River State Trail, $500 to Lost Creek Ranch Therapeutic Riding & Horse Rescue to assist with operating costs, $1,000 to Heart to purchase necessities for families in need, $1,000 to Our Neighbors Place to support gaps in service following the closure of Assistance & Resource Center (ARC), and $1,000 to Ellsworth Fire Department for a battery-powered cut-off saw.
PPCS members support the Pierce Pepin Cares Foundation by rounding up their electric bills to the nearest dollar each month or by donating a specific amount.
